Hypothermia treatment in Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α Knockout Mice with Hypoxia-Ischemia.
Article in Developmental neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionHypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) has a wide-ranging role in the cellular responses to hypoxia. We previously found that neuron-specific HIF-1α-deficient mice (HIF-KO) that underwent neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) had increased brain injury suggesting its neuroprotective function. To investigate whether HIF-1α is also involved in the mechanisms of protection by hypothermia (HT), the standard of care for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, we tested the effect of HT on HIF-KO and wild-type (WT) littermates after HI in postnatal day 9 mice.
methodsCooling at 32°C began 1 h following HI and lasted for 3.5 h. Mice were perfused 5-7 days later for histological determination of injury severity. For Western blots, mice were killed 4 h or 24 h after HI with HT or HI with normothermia (NT) and ipsilateral cortices and hippocampi were evaluated for expression of HIF-1α, spectrin, ERK1/2, phosphorylated-ERK1/2 (p-ERK), and RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3), one of the main cold-inducible mRNA-binding proteins.
resultsHistological evaluation showed WT mice with HT had less injury than WT with NT, but HIF-KO mice showed no reduction of injury with HT. Regionally, the reduction of injury in WT with HT is greater in the hippocampus than in the cortex. Protein expression of HIF-1α was lower in HIF-KO cortex at 4 h with NT or HT and at 24 h with NT, but HIF-1α was higher in WT with NT at 24 h. Expression of spectrin 145/150 in WT cortex with HT was not different than sham at 4 h, indicating limitation of necrosis with HT. In the HIF-KO cortex at 4 h spectrin 145/150 was higher in both NT and HT, indicating no protection with HT. In the hippocampus at 4 h and 24 h, spectrin 145/150 was elevated in all groups compared to sham. ERK activity, as represented by the ratio of p-ERK/ERK, was upregulated at 24 h in the cortex in WT with NT or HT compared to sham and in HIF-KO mice with NT or HT treatment compared to sham. RBM3 was elevated at 4 h in both WT and HIF-KO cortex with HT, but there was no change in the hippocampus.
conclusionThese results support a critical role for HIF-1α in the mechanisms of protection with HT.
